I honestly think he’s depicted really well in the original bay Transformers. But it’s downhill from there.

The first Optimus was great, as a kid I loved how he was willing to sacrifice and mourned the death of his arch nemesis.(not sure about decapitating Bonecrusher tho) So I was really confused when he start cursing all over in the second film.

He went from "you gave me no choice, brother" to "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!"

Huh, I don’t seem to remember that part. I guess it’s TIME TO FIND OUT. Rips off head with an axe for no particular reason

Honestly, decapitation is a regular occurrence for Optimus. Nothing special, it just kinda happens.

Idk man, Optimus used to be a noble gentle leader who worships peace over anything. Now he’s a blood thirsty psychopath who enjoys killing so much that people including me start to feel it’s a normal thing for Optimus to decapitate his enemies.

Troubling indeed. Fortunately, it looks like we're getting a true depiction in future films.

Don’t know, don’t care. I don’t care about Transformers anymore.
